I saw God this Sunday

What makes sportsmen Gods?? There are great sportsmen and there are champions and then there are the Gods .... who pretty much every kid, who ran around in the park, aspires to be.

Anyone who saw Roger Federer's demolition of Andy Roddick this Sunday, will probably have a better idea of what I am trying to say. According to me, what makes sportsmen Gods is the fact that they can make look their sport look easy and their opponents a joke. I mean you look at Federer play and he makes tennis look so easy, you then pick up a racquet; for starters, try to put your serve in the other side of the court, only to realise how very difficult it is. You watch Ronaldinho curve the ball in to the back of the net ( The one against Chelsea at Stamford bridge in this years Champions league quarters is one of my all time favourites) and you try to mimic him and after hours of failure, you would be grateful to God if you could even put the ball at the back of the net, let alone curving the ball. Or for that matter try a Sachin six ( like the one he hit against Pak in the world cup'03).

Everyone loves competition and a good exciting game, but then someone like Federer comes along, makes minced meat of his opponents in no time but you still want to watch him inspite of the match being lop sided just because of his grace and his command over the game. I mean when these guys get on the field they capture your imagination, genuinely make you happy when you watch them play and you wouldn't mind skipping a lunch to pay for your ticket to watch these guys.
